Your organization's computer systems contain a wealth of sensitive data. While recent events such as the Ameriprise Financial data breach, the Hotels.com data breach, or the VA laptop loss bring the issue of encrypting portable data into the spotlight, there is another serious data protection issue as well.

Such information must be carefully guarded - both when your hardware is in active use, and equally upon retirement.
